H. BATTERY

CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
• Never remove the vent caps while the engine is
running.
• Keep electrolyte away from eyes, hands and
clothes. If you are spattered with it, wash it away
completely with water immediately and get medi-
cal attention.
• Wear eye protection and rubber gloves when
working around the battery.
265W130A
Mishandling the battery shortens the service life and
adds to maintenance costs. (1) Battery (2) Vent Cap
The original battery is maintenance free, but needs
some servicing.
If the battery is weak, the engine will be difficult to start
and the lights will be dim. It is important to check the
battery periodically.

a . Battery Charging

CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
• When the battery is being activated, hydrogen and
oxygen gases in the battery are extremely
explosive. Keep open sparks and flames away
from the battery at all times, especially when
charging the battery.
• When charging the battery, ensure the vent caps
are securely in place. (If equipped)
• When disconnecting the cable from the battery,
start with the negative terminal first.
265W131A
• When connecting the cable to the battery, start
with the positive terminal first. (A) Highest Level
• Never check battery change by placing a metal (B) Lowest Level
object across the posts. Use a voltmeter or
hydrometer.

1-24 S265-WOO Feb. 2005

 GENERAL

1. Make sure each electrolyte level is somewhere be-

tween the markings (A) and (B). Add a proper amount
of distilled water up to the highest level as required.
2. The water in the electrolyte evaporates during
recharging. Liquid shortage damages the battery.
Excessive liquid spills over and damages the trac-
tor body.
3. To slow charge the battery, connect the battery posi-
tive terminal to the charger positive terminal and
the negative to the negative, then recharge in the
standard fashion.
4. A boost charge is only for emergencies. It will par-
tially charge the battery at a high rate and in a short
time.
When using a boost-charged battery, it is neces-
sary to recharge the battery as early as possible.
Failure to do this will shorten the battery’s service
life.
5. When the specific gravity of electrolyte is between
1.27 and 1.29 the charging is completed.
6. When exchanging an old battery for a new one, use
battery of equal specification shown in table 1.

Though the tire pressure is factory-set to the prescribed

level, it naturally drops slowly in the course of time.
Thus, check it everyday and inflate as necessary.

NOTE:
• Maintain the maximum pressure in front tires, if
using a front loader or when equipped with a full
load of front weights.
